The Indiana University School of Social Work and the Indiana Department of Child Services have created an extraordinary partnership with incalculable benefits in the life and death mission of protecting the state’s most vulnerable children, Gov. Mitch Daniels said at the IUPUI Spirit of Philanthropy ceremony on Tuesday.

“It is the single best example I know of, of close collaboration between people in public service and the great university assets we have in this state,” Daniels said. The governor attended the ceremony to help honor Judge James Payne, the director of the Department of Child Services and the partnership between DCS and the School of Social Work.

“The people that you have trained here at IUPUI are saving the lives of little ones on a daily basis in ways we can’t count and probably they can’t even know absent the preparation they got here.” FULL STORY
